This might be the last call Soosai is making from the conflict zone, even be the last report by anyone to the outside world where the fierce shelling by the Sri Lankan forces is taking place. If the international community continues its irresponsiveness there wont be no life left to tell the tale of the 25 000 civilians who bled to death
Sea Tiger Special Commander of the LTTE, Col. Soosai Sunday noon said that around 25,000 civilians injured in the artillery attack of Sri Lanka Army are dead and dying now without receiving medical attention.
The LTTE has repeatedly requested the ICRC through Mr. Pathmanathan to evacuate the injured through Vadduvaakal or Iraddaivaaikkaal, but there was NO IC response. Within a 2 square kilometre area, there are dead bodies everywhere while the remaining thousands are in bunkers amidst the use of every kind of weapon by Colombo's forces. The SLA is not even allowing the people to flee but prefers to fire at them, Soosai said.
The International Community has not cared for what is happening. Many more thousands in addition to the 25,000 are being injured and killed now. Acting at least now can save them. We continue to defend, as there are signs of rescue, he further said.
Meanwhile, latest reports from Vanni indicate that several thousands of civilians have been captured by the Sri Lankan Army, but only after first firing at them at random, causing the death and injury to many.
LTTE's head of international relations S. Pathmanathan in a statement Sunday, following an hour after Soosai's message, said the LTTE is prepared to silence its guns if that is what needed by the International Community to save the life and dignity of the Tamil people.
